Christmas in Lakeview
After another long and challenging year we are all looking for less dimness and more light. We are looking for less sorrow and more joy. We are looking for less despair and more hope. Christmas is about hope, joy, and light coming to live among us, coming to offer us more purposeful lives, coming to show us the true meaning of love. It's about the creative power of God coming to inspire and remake broken people and a broken world. "The angel said to the shepherds, 'Do not be afraid; for see - I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord'" (Luke 2:10-11, NRSV) St. Paul's Returns to Lakeview on Christmas Eve
We're excited to announce that after several months of recovery from Hurricane Ida we will return to worshipping in our church's space on Christmas Eve! We're so grateful for your patience and support, and we look forward to gathering with you again to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. |
